I didn't mean psychologically, I'm talking behavior. Haven't you seen how much he has overreacted publicly to even minor criticism? Crudely. Brashly. Rudely. His campaign will collapse if he continues to react to attack ads as he did to this one trust me.

Pretty hilarious Gail Collins NYT column today about the choices: "the official Republican world now contains people who took a dive and endorsed Trump; the ones who've endorsed Cruz and pretended it was a profile in courage; and the ones still sitting on the fence. They all look miserable."

Yes. Gotta follow your post with The Republican Surrender, by Fareed Zakaria. Always puts me in a good mood to remember the GOP lost FORTY-FOUR STATES in 1964. I'll settle for 40 this time around. :D

Easter egg hunts are for young children. And by young children I mean people who are of actual temporal age of less than say 12.

Yes and no. In the Old World where Easter eggs come from such ideas are less rigid.

No guns at Republican National Convention, because Quicken Loans Arena doesn't allow them. Petitions are circulating to change this affront to God and flag. Do your duty and sign one. Or be part of the problem.

Second Amendment Nutters can't just agree with the Second Amendment, they have to show their guns in public 24/7. It'd be nice if this principle applied to Log Cabin Republicans, who would do... stuff at the convention. :D

I say let them enter the arena with their guns. Somebody's bound to go "rogue", as Sarah Palin liked to say (or was it "rouge"?), and then —as we all know— the BEST defense against a crazy fucker scattershot-firing in a crowded place is to fire back. And who among the attendees would not like to be a cowboy and fire back? I wonder how many delegates would be left alive.

Allowing them there might actually solve a lot of problems, particularly if Trump is denied the nomination on the first ballot. Trump and Cruz could shoot it out at ten paces. I hope they're both great shots.

WHat kind of bottom feeder maggot would allow a stadium to be named like this?

I know. And it's adjacent to Progressive Field, as in Progressive Insurance. Not as bad a Quicken Loans, but same...ballpark. hahahahahaha

It's called what companies paid for the construction, essentially.

What, they want guns to intimidate possible protestors? Fuck them fuck their guns. People who cling to their guns as phallic extensions are pussies.

No, its called which company bought advertising rights. Quicken Loans had nothing to do with construction.

Apparently the tax payers paid for the original construction. Quicken's owner paid for some upgrades and maintenance later.

Wikipedia tells a slightly unclear story: apparently this site was a farmers market going back to the origin of the city, and voters defeated a measure to build a stadium. But then some developers bought and cleared the site and the voters voted in a sin tax on booze to pay to build a new stadium complex.

In sports the arenas change names all the time. Its a sponsorship

From The Washington Post:


This guy is just retarded. Someone told him to backpedal, though...

Thanks for that thoughtful analysis, pepper. You revealed hard truths I cannot escape from, and I am now compelled to re-examine my own perspective and beliefs.

Too many are eager to descend into cynicism, and cynicism never adds anything to any discussion. You manage to transcend this by carefully probing the enormous complexity of national politics and finding places where the concerned citizen may engage to, perhaps, make this place a little better. Inspiring stuff, my friend.
